Abigail's father was abusive as well. Mostly emotional abuse, forcing her to help with her crimes, telling her he'd kill her if he ever said no. He also killed her mother and cut her throat.
An unaffected Abigail could see something in an aged down Lance, that feeling of not feeling safe, especially in the two well behaved version. She could try to help him feel safe, or open up, or to just feel free to be a kid.
Or we could do the reverse and have an unaffected Lance see something familiar in Abigail.
Or we could have them both young at the same time and recognize something in each other.
